MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her Friday guests could not control their laughter on The ReidOut at Kamala Harris and Tim Walz discussing the latter’s “white guy tacos” and subsequent GOP reaction. For Reid, the episode proved that they are “normal, relatable, and just downright fun and joyful people,” while their Republican counterparts are not.
In mid-July, when Doug Moore’s daughter fell and hurt her wrist at the family’s property in northern B.C., he rushed the nine-year-old to the nearest hospital — only to find the emergency department had shut down.
There was no advance notice of the closure, the Fort St. John resident recently told CBC’s Daybreak North.
“When you’ve got a nine-year-old, and it’s 9:30 at night, and she’s tired, she’s in pain … it definitely makes me nervous for my family and for those around us,” he said.
Heyo @fancypants_s ! I'm crying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/wFVZd4wFld

Last week, former President Donald Trump spoke to thousands of supporters at his rally in Asheville, North Carolina. According to reports, a venue worker mentioned that the crowd in line appeared to be significantly greater than the capacity of the 2,500-seat theater.
BREAKING: Kamala Harris’ campaign X account caught sharing video of Trump’s rally in Montana from *2 hours* earlier in the day, claiming it was the live footage.
I’ve never seen a campaign lie so blatantly in my life.
Shortly before Trump’s rally started, Kamala HQ shared the… pic.twitter.com/cWbokcUap6

The Center for Strategic & International Studies just revealed the enormity of China’s subsidization of its EV industry
Will she or won’t she? Will Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announce tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles this week? If so, will she follow the American lead and tack on a 100% levy on any battery-powered vehicle BYD or Geely might dare to try to import to the United States? Or will ours be a more nuanced — dare I say World Trade Organization-approved — approach like the “variable” tariffs the E.U. are finalizing? The entire Canadian automotive industry awaits her decision with bated breath, with more than $50 billion — the monies promised to Volkswagen, Stellantis, et al to build battery plants here in the Great White Frozen North — hanging in the balance.
What are Trudeau’s China class backers saying?
As delegates arrive in Chicago on Sunday ahead of the Democratic National Convention, protesters plan to march along Michigan Avenue. On Monday, as the political show begins inside the United Center, demonstrators say they will gather by the thousands outside. And as the convention goes on, activists say, so too will the protests, every single day, showcasing divisions on the left during a week when Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to project Democratic unity and enthusiasm.
From the moment the Democrats chose Chicago as the site for their nominating convention, it was a foregone conclusion that protesters would show up in large numbers. The city has a long tradition of left-wing activism, and nominating conventions tend to attract demonstrations.
Toronto wants to be a world-class city, but after years of constant construction I’m getting out — as soon as I sell my condo
“We’re in a holding pattern,” said my real estate agent. “It’s a buyer’s market and it’s slow everywhere right now. In fact, there’s a surplus of condos in your sector right now.”
Great.
A surplus.
Just when I thought I had an exclusive condo based on size and location for sale in downtown Toronto, buyers have a broad selection. I’m on this adventure in the real estate market featuring motivated sellers (me) and cautious buyers (everybody else) as, after 12 years in one place, my wife and I have decided to join the exodus of Torontonians searching for a little tranquility elsewhere.
‘Misogynistic, racist and homophobic’ imam who reportedly prayed to ‘grant victory’ to the Hamas links rioters to Zionism
The BBC interviewed a radical Islamic preacher who has been condemned by the Government’s counter-extremism commission and blamed the riots on those with a Zionist “agenda”.
Haitham al-Haddad was invited to speak on BBC Radio London about the recent spate of rioting, and was introduced by the presenter as a “highly respected imam”.
Earlier this month, al-Haddad discussed the motives of rioters at a sermon at Greenwich Islamic Centre in south London.
Just another example of Islam’s “acceptance” by the elites.
What are the “third rail” policy issues of Canadian politics?
The “third rail” of politics refers to a controversial issue that is so politically charged and potentially damaging that touching it can result in severe political consequences, much like the dangerous third rail on a subway track that carries a lethal electric charge.
A fun little exercise that for whatever reason excludes Trudeau’s mass immigration assault on Canada.
Extreme misogyny will be treated as terrorism for the first time under Government plans to combat the radicalisation of young men online.
Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has ordered a review of Britain’s counter-terrorism strategy to urgently address gaps in the Government’s stance on extremism, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.
It will look at tackling violence against women and girls in the same way as Islamist and far-Right extremism, amid fears that current Home Office guidance is too narrow.
Given this is the UK under a crazed Labour gov’t expect “Extreme Misogyny” to be interpreted by lunatics. Raising a daughter in a White heteronormative environment, forbidding the sexual mutilation of a child and expressing “right-wing” views in front of female identifying thingamabobs etc will earn you long jail terms.
Luc Sabourin, a former CBSA officer, chokes back tears as he recalls the day a man from one of Canada’s most violent crime families — a refugee from Palestine linked to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel — stood outside Sabourin’s home in Gatineau, Que., and uttered brutal and visceral threats against Sabourin’s children.
Sabourin — a whistleblower who has complained of numerous serious incidents inside Canada Border Services Agency that he believes are due to organized crime infiltration — thinks a particular colleague may have leaked his home address to the drug trafficker, whom Sabourin was scheduled to testify against.
I would not be surprised.
The government is exploring whether it can cancel the Irish passport obtained by Tommy Robinson, the British far-right anti-Islam campaigner who has been cultivating links with the Irish anti-immigration movement.
The Sunday Times has learned that Robinson’s use of an Irish passport is being examined by the Department of Foreign Affairs after his detention by authorities in Canada in June over alleged immigration offences.
An immigration form issued by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, stated that both his country of birth and country of citizenship was Ireland.
Earlier this year, the American news website Vox introduced its broad readership to Pierre Poilievre. They accounted for the popularity of the Canadian Conservative leader with recourse to an American phenomenon: the right-wing populism of Donald Trump. The piece painted Poilievre as an embodiment of “Canada’s polite Trumpism.”
Such a diagnosis may rattle many Canadians, who regard the grotesquerie of Trump and his “MAGA” ideology as uniquely symptomatic of life below the 49th parallel. Trumpism (we’d all like to believe) has about as much place in Canada as AR-15s or four-down football. But you needn’t worry: some basic overlap in rhetoric and ideology aside, the Poilievre/Trump comparison falls short. As anyone watching the two national campaigns may have gleaned of late, Pierre Poilievre isn’t Canada’s Donald Trump. He’s our JD Vance.
King Charles has fired the security team stationed at Prince Andrew’s longtime lavish mansion as the disgraced royal reportedly refused to “downsize” from the property.
Charles told the ten-man detail that their contracts would not be renewed in October at the 31-room Royal Lodge home, according to the Sun.
“They are all working the final weeks of their contract till the end of October. It’s not thought anyone is being lined up to replace them,” a palace inside told the outlet.
Andrew is the saddest of Princelings.
The City of Toronto is poised to spend roughly $150 million to extend a popular railway trail for pedestrians and cyclists in the west end, but some councillors are questioning the project’s inflated price tag.
In 2016, the two-kilometre extension, to be built by provincial transit agency Metrolinx on the city’s behalf, was estimated to cost only $23 million.
But now the city is planning to spend $125.7 million on the extension because of costs they say weren’t factored into the initial estimate. The federal government is kicking in an additional $23 million.
Why don’t they build it with homeless people?
